Having said that I have to agree with all said about Emirates training department here, one of the reasons why I left not even 18 months after I joined.
Good luck to all guys still there and hope you can get out soon :-)

Well, the second leg was, as I said, one eng inop takeoff and there was no FDs. As soon as I armed the APP when turning inbound, loc and g/s armed on FMA since I chose the approach on fmc for ILS12L, then LOC captured! The last leg was both eng operative ILS approach with FDs ON.
